  I saw a very interesting post by Frankie over at SkyDomains.com yesterday. He had previously posted about minisites he was developing, but soon decided his efforts would be better served by focusing on one or two larger sites. One of these is Vowels.Me – basically it’s a marketpla...

For the most part, domains don’t sell well in bulk and short domains are no exception to this, as this eBay auction which inspired this post will show. The strategy in buying bulk aftermarket domains often makes sense — you can probably negotiate a better price, you may feel that lower q...

Back to my portfolio cleaning exercise, this morning's little sales page project was www.dental-insurance.co.uk, a nice generic, hyphenated key word domain name with an instantly apparent market.Some people criticise hyphenated names, but I must say that mine have always performed very well and I do...

I just finished writing up my analysis of the Mystery domain auction that’s been commented upon by just about everyone in the domain space. I didn’t feel like blogging about it, so I just decided to voice my opinion on the domain forum, NamePros. I don’t post there often but visi...

The MysteryDomainAuction/DomainingRevolution has caused an incredible amount of blogging action over the past 24 hours that I thought I should answer some of the questions asked by various folks - most pointedly in the NamePros thread. First and foremost, why is this a “domaining revolution...

Since domain name offers have been few and fair between in 2008, I didn’t expect to even work today (Friday) with the ending of the Holiday season and the weekend around the corner. I did work, because I felt that it was the right thing to do. Keep pushing forward, getting the word out etc. No...
